All that and as reliable as a stove . Hard to beat in my opinion . I believe the aluminum LS is about 50 lbs. lighter than the Porsche four banger . I am at a point in my life where I am not interested in doing the conversion myself but will keep my eyes open for any completed conversions for sale . I appreciate all the feedback you guys have given .

Exactly, lighter weight AND more powerful AND in many ways, much less expensive.
The only downside might be breaking things that aren't up to the task of handling the extra power.
